Patent GB-190723212-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in connection with Heating Water for Circulation Purposes.
Inventor: NEWCOME VICTOR NATHANIEL
Filed: 1907-10-21
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 23,212. Newcome, V. N. Oct. 21. Water-heating stoves.-Separate water-circulating systems for warming buildings and for supply purposes are respectively connected with boilers A, B heated by two fires C<1>, C, the former being arranged behind the latter, which may be either open or closed. The boiler A is ?-shaped in plan and forms the sides and top of the fire-box C<1>, while the boiler B is substantially rectangular and is placed between the two fire-boxes. A hinged plate K normally closes the upper passage F between the two fire-boxes, the flues from which are provided with dampers j, h. A counterpoised drawplate P and a double-walled dead-plate q, which may be placed vertically as shown in dotted lines, are added for the purpose of damping down. In normal operation, the dampers &c. are in the positions shown, the draughts being controlled as desired by dampers h, j. To feed the inner fire, the canopy N is removed, the drawplate is drawn down. and the door K opened to enable the fuel to be thrown in through the passage F. At night, the damper h is closed and the drawplate and deadplate are placed in position to damp down the fire C'. In warm weather the boiler B may be heated by a gas or oil burner, a baffle R being inserted to guide the combustion gases along the back of the boiler.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Dynamo Electric Machines.
Filed: 1907-12-14
Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 27,596. Mather & Platt, Coubrough, A. C., and Frith, J. Dec. 14. Armatures.-In machines giving large alternating currents, the armatures are so wound that the current is carried by two or more circuits in different slots under the same pole connected in parallel. The slots per phase per pole are numerically equal to the number of poles, or are a multiple or submultiple thereof. Fig. 1 shows a six-pole two-phase machine, each phase X, X' of which consists of six circuits in parallel, as shown by the letters A .. F in the completely drawn phase X. As each circuit passes in succession under each pole, it takes up a different position relatively to the other paralleled circuits. Thus, the circuit A of the phase X runs through slots M<1>, N<2>, O<3>, P<4>, Q<5>, R<6>; circuit B runs through M<2>, N<3>, O<4>, P<5>, Q<6>, R<1>; the circuit C through correspondingly displaced slots, and so on, the letters M, N, O, &c. representing the groups of twelve slots per pole. With this arrangement, fifty of the required sixty end -connectors are identical and of the form shown at S in the developed plan view, Fig. 2, and ten are of the form shown at T.
Patent GB-190727812-A (GB)
Title: Automatic Nut Locks.
Inventor: CLARK JAMES TEMPLE
Filed: 1907-12-17
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 27,812. Clark, J. T. Dec. 17. Locking nuts.-Relates to improvements in the washer for locking nuts for rail joints &c., described in Specification No. 20,387, A.D. 1905, which has a number of bent radial fingers 7 with twisted points 8 to grip a bolt, and a number of bent-up tongues 12 to engage the side of a nut. The washer is made of spring metal, and is dished on its 'under surface as shown in Fig. 6 ; this allows the tongues 12 to be bent up in a long sweeping curve, thus avoiding a sudden bend from a flat surface. Portions 17 of the washer adjacent to the junctions of the fingers 7 are bent obliquely, the corners 19 being lower than the corners 18. This construction enables the washer to grip the material beneath it before it is sufficiently flattened for the inner points 15 to engage the material and prevent rotation.
Patent GB-190800364-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Brakes
Inventor: STEEL JOHN
Filed: 1908-01-07
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 364. Steel, J. Jan. 7. Brakes.-A hand or foot brake comprises a lever e mounted freely on the shaft a of a toothed wheel c adapted to be rotated by a pawl f on the lever Chains or wires i are secured at j to the wheel a and at their other ends to a spring or bolt k which forms an adjustable connexion by a screw and nut l with the link m connected to the brake block or band. When the brake is fully applied the chains i should rest on rollers provided on the shaft a. A catch h controlled by the finger-grip n prevents backward rotation of the wheel a. By providing a second pawl f<1>, catch h<1>, and pair of chains i<1>, the brake may be operated by moving the lever in either direction. In this case it will be necessary, when applying the brake, to depress one finger-grip n so as to take off one catch h, h<1> and also, by means of a projection on the connecting-wire o, one pawl f, f<1>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Front Pieces for Boots, Articles of Clothing and the like.
Inventor: CAMPBELL ALVA VINCENT
Filed: 1908-01-04
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 9885. Campbell, A. V. Jan. 4. Coats and jackets; leggings; capes; ' fly ' parts; ventilating wearing-apparel.-The ' fly ' or front pieces of boots and shoes, leggings, capes, tunics, and other articles, are moulded from india-rubber, and are grooved on their under sides, and preferably transversely, for the purposes of ventilation.

Fig. 2 shows such a front piece a fitted to a boot, which may be provided with perforations e beneath the grooves b. It is secured by stud fastenings, which are preferably of the type described in Specification No. 256, A.D. 1908, [Abridgment Class Fastenings, Dress].
Patent GB-190811945-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Surface Contact Electric Traction Systems.
Inventor: MITCHELL EDWARD ALBERT
Filed: 1908-01-31
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 11,945. Mitchell, E. A. Jan. 31. Switches.-Relates to an electro-magnetically operated switch, described in connexion with an electric traction system, and comprises a switch box h made of a bard non-conducting material, such as porcelain or granite, in which the road studs b are mounted. The studs are formed with polar extensions b<1> sbaped so that they incline downwards and towards one another, as shown, so as to reduce magnetic leakage. To reduce the drag between the studs and the switch-operating means on the vehicles, a cover or plate u of non-magnetic material such as manganese steel completely covers the studs. The switch arm d, pivoted to the studs at e, is adapted, when its armatura a is attracted by the studs as described in Specification No. 17,532, A.D. 1907, to engage the fixed contact m and so connect the studs to the feeder o. The contact m consists of a circular block of carbon having a flanged base secured by a screw ring to the metal block r, which has a tongue depending into mercury in the block n<1>. The block r is carried by an insulating-arm q from the studs. By this arrangement, the switch arm and fixed contact can be removed simultaneously with the studs. For reducing any tendency of the armature a to adhere to the studs, a sheet u<3> of brass or other non-magnetic material may be placed over the ends of the studs, or these parts may be provided with one or more pins or projections of non-magnetic material. The armature a is enga;ed when in its open position by an earthed conductor s<1> as described in Specification No. 17,532, A.D. 1907.
